😢 The Devastated Fan – Passion Without a Shield

They didn’t just lose.
They shattered you.

The Devastated Fan sits slumped in the arena seat, motionless but emotionally concussed. Their team just blew it — Game 7, OT, Cup Final… or maybe just a Tuesday they cared too much about.

Tears come. Not dramatically. Not loudly. Just… honestly.

Key Identifiers:

  • Puffed-out team jersey clinging to cold nacho cheese

  • Mascara streaks or tear-glossed cheeks (regardless of gender)

  • One hand holding a rally towel like a lifeline

  • The other gripping a partner's hand that’s doing its best to comfort

  • Utter disbelief frozen in posture — stunned silence meets soul-crack

You can hear them breathing in shaky little bursts.
They thought this was the year.
They believed. They always believe.

And sitting next to them? A slightly amused, mostly sympathetic partner — the kind who knows sports shouldn’t do this to people, but also loves you more for the fact that they do.

This isn’t parody. This is reverence.
Because if hockey doesn’t make you feel this — what’s the point?
